***What Are You Smoking, June 2024?***
Figurehead bowl 108 (I think). Bosun Plug, which I purchased from SPC cuz some folk on the forum were discussing it and it sounded novel. Basically just tore of a chunk and plucked/tore the layers apart into slightly smaller pieces, rather than do something crazy like "set aside ample dry...- Pooh-Bah

***What Are You Smoking, June 2024?***
Finishing my Crooner with old reliable. In reading, the maidservant has drafted her "brother" (they're from the same orphanage) into attending the young lady's school festival and pretending to be her boyfriend so she isn't embarrassed by being the only single member of her friend group. ...- Pooh-Bah

Recommend Some Good Tobacco, Please
Well, my go-to blends are- War Horse Bar, which I initially tried because I saw it being the butt of jokes on this forum. Fairly strong, tin has notes of vanilla and raisins like from a restaurant's bread pudding. Dreams of Kadath, a sort of... mildly aromatic Oriental plug? Also a bit strong...- Pooh-Bah

What Cigar are You Smoking? 2024
Two months sealed in a bag with a 72% Boveda. As for I smoked this broken and cracked relic: Willpower and sticktoitiveness. Went pretty well after it had burned past the crack that was about an inch in.- Pooh-Bah

What Cigar are You Smoking? 2024
Two months ago I attended an antique militaria show. Walked out with a reproduction Kentucky rifle and this object. Supposedly a cigar, circa 1870s. $15 for the ability to honestly say, "I smoked a cigar that's probably older than any two members of this forum combined". *postscript, but...- Pooh-Bah

***What Are You Smoking, June 2024?***
Bowl 98 in figurehead meer. Cult Blood Red Moon. I realized as I was scraping out cake today that I'd actually been removing meerschaum too. Which, hey, thinner walls but I can now fit my whole index finger in with a pipe cleaner wrapped around it, which is my preferred cleaning method anyway.- Pooh-Bah

***What Are You Smoking, June 2024?***
Crooner in the Crooner pipe (Ropp 428B), to be followed by BSF in the Figurehead. Finally on the second "book" of the series, Banquet of the Golden Witch. It'll be awhile before anyone starts dying (it's a time loop thing - same cast and setting as book one, but a different series of events and...- Pooh-Bah

Original Songs That Covers Can't Match
A year or two ago I was walking through a grocery store and I swear they were playing a cover of "Fire and Rain". That's just heresy, right there.- Pooh-Bah

Anyone Play Video Games?
Because I am apparently a slave to the algorithm and some Fire Emblem content popped up on my YouTube feed, I'm currently nine chapters into Shadow Dragon and planning to work my way through the series. I mean, Fire Emblem 7 (the first one released outside Japan) was pretty good. Should be fun.- Pooh-Bah

What Are You Drinking? June 2024
Warsteiner Pilsner (wanted some beer for workdays, liquor is for the days off). The book series was my jam back in elementary school - did it get more adaptation than just a movie of the first book?- Pooh-Bah

Hey, Anyone Heard of C&Ds "Mad Fiddler"
Lovecraftian theme, it would be Erich Zann. A mute violinist who lived in... Zurich, iirc? Who played like a madman to keep some sort of unknowable alien monster(s) from stealing him away in the night. Edit - woops, I saw "Inspired by" and jumped to "Correct the origin of the blend's name"...- Pooh-Bah

***What Are You Smoking, June 2024?***
Bowl 83 in the figurehead, Crooner. To be followed by more Crooner and finish the evening with War Horse. I was originally planning to go to the cigar lounge this evening, but a long and sweaty day of driving hayrides drained me of energy. Meanwhile in my reading: The survivors have realized...- Pooh-Bah

***What Are You Smoking, May 2024?***
Bowl 82 in the figurehead, War Horse. The rain is doing wonders for the atmosphere as I continue to work my way through The Legend of the Golden Witch. Getting near the end, the cast has shrunk from 18 down to 8.- Pooh-Bah

***What Are You Smoking, May 2024?***
Beautiful weather today - low to mid 60s, light rain, practically no wind. Bowl 70 with the figurehead meer - War Horse, of course (mental note: get more St Bruno - parfait'd some with War Horse months ago and it was very nice) In my reading: Finally, some murder! It only took like, eight hours...- Pooh-Bah

***What Are You Smoking, May 2024?***
Figurehead, Bowl 63. Crooner. In my reading: The inheritance debate is thrown for a loop by a letter from the titular Golden Witch, giving the family until tomorrow to solve the riddle, or she'll begin the process of repossessing the gold she loaned the family patriarch - and take everything to...- Pooh-Bah

***What Are You Smoking, May 2024?***
A dreary rainy day means the boss gave me the day off. Coffee on the porch, with bowl 60 of figurehead meer - Night Slices. The bowl's wide enough that I can almost fit a whole coin in width-wise, so I've got about three stacked up and packed. I believe I've observed some coloration on the sides...- Pooh-Bah

Any Tea Drinkers?
Like, tobacco instead of tea leaves? Probably as like, a medical tincture by a native shaman or a new age hippie or something. Or, burning tobacco as the heat source to boil water? That sounds like a way to turn your campfire into a fragrant delight that repels insects, and an enormous waste of...- Pooh-Bah
